Synopsis

Harold Ford Jr. has long distinguished himself as a charismatic, results-oriented politician with fresh ideas. His career began at age 26 after he won his father’s Congressional seat, serving his Tennessee district for ten years. He stepped into the national spotlight with his electric keynote at the 2000 Democratic National Convention, and in 2006 his reputation was further shaped during the closest Senate race in Tennessee’s history, which he lost. Ford feels passionately that our country’s best days are ahead, and in More Davids Than Goliaths, he presents his mission statement for America.

Reflecting on what he’s learned from his extended political family, the slings and arrows of the campaign trail, and those across our nation who inspire him, More Davids Than Goliaths explains Ford’s conviction, “At its best, leadership in government can solve, inspire, and heal.” Along the way, Ford reminds us that in America, there are more Davids than Goliaths, more solutions than problems, more that unites us than divides us.

Reviews

Goodreads review by Osborne

A fascinating look into a unique political life. Shows a lot about Tennessee and US politics that probably still rings true today. Wish Mr. Ford and his family well, but also wish he was still involved in the political arena in Tennessee. Highly recommend.......more

I like Harold Ford, heard him speak when he was a young Congressman and he is someone I think I could vote for in a national election. I like his Blue Dog roots.......more
